Key Note/Conference Speaking

Most of us have attended conferences and events as participants that leave us feeling tired, bored and counting down the minutes. Often, we feel this way before we’ve even walked in the door.

Anyone putting on an event knows that delivering a conference is a time consuming, costly and reputation building or breaking responsibility with high stakes.

It takes a great deal of work to put on an important conference so you need to guarantee your event will be memorable and successful.

The biggest impact on the quality and success of your event will come down to the quality of your speakers. You can have the most senior, the most knowledgeable, and the most successful person with an incredible resume standing in front of your audience but if they can’t deliver your message and engage your audience, that expertise is just like a dusty old encyclopaedia sitting on a bookshelf.

The best speakers can deliver the key message and have an ability to communicate with your audience. Extraordinary speakers are motivational, authoritatively knowledgeable, articulate, entertaining and dare we say it, fun!

Whether it is an important meeting, conference, organisational development retreat, charity or other event, Dave Lourdes, our 'Extraordinary Speaker', will deliver a dynamic and professional presentation guaranteed to inject energy into your room, boost morale, inspire people to embrace change and accept new ideas, and help everyone to step up to the next level of performance.

Dave will educate, entertain and empower participants to do more by stretching their paradigm and sense of possibility. Dave guarantees that the audience will be on the edge of their seats. Here are just a few things conference organisers have had to say:

What a hit you were Dave!
Verbal feedback was excellent. The forms were even better.
You rated highest for both content (4.7/5) and presentation skills (4.8/5)
Thank you so much for an A1 preso.
My clients are still raving about how they have changed their lifestyles from your advice on being a super achiever!
If you would like to send me some business cards, I’d be happy to hand them out to my clients that attended when I see them next. - Marcus Darbyshire, Executive Partner, Gartner

Each audience is unique. That’s why Dave never uses "stock" or "canned" presentations. He will customise his presentation content, style and delivery to your unique needs, outcomes and objectives. Dave uses tailor-made examples, illustrations and stories to reinforce the learning process and empower those in the audience.

You can be assured that with Dave you will not get a prima donna focussed entirely on himself and his own speaking session. Dave understands your audience is most important and will make sure he works with your conference as a whole. He’ll fit in with your requirements, even if that means you tell him sessions are running behind and he now has 10 minutes less right before he goes on stage.

Guaranteed to make your event remembered and talked about long after the dust has settled, don’t put your next conference at risk, engage Dave as your speaker.
